Six students and a teacher tested positive for COVID-19 after in-person classes resumed last week.
The confirmed cases involve six high school students, a middle school student and an elementary school staff member in the Corinth School District, just south of the Tennessee border, where classes resumed on July 27. The quarantined students make up about 4% of the district’s population, according to figures the district provided to HuffPost.
The Mississippi Department of Education gave its public schools three options on how to resume classes this fall, using either a traditional schedule, a hybrid schedule or a virtual schedule.Students wearing masks head to class at Mooreville High School in Mooreville, Mississippi, on Thursday. The high school is not part of the Corinth School District, where seven coronavirus cases were confirmed.
“But either way, it doesn’t matter if you get the COVID-19 at school or the community. It’s something that we have to deal with and it’s something that we have to recognize is going to continue,” he said.
